Thanks for the comment good sir. Enjoy your build, I'm currently saving up for the next one and can't wait. Plenty time to enjoy racing this one around first 😁

It's just standard scalextric sports track.

@@scalextric-hobby thanks 🙏

🤟

Cheers for the nice comment. I totally agree, it's more fun without magnets, definitely takes a lot more skill. Getting the kids into it slowly, different cars with different strength magnets, they enjoy it a lot 😎

Cheers. Some more scalextric videos coming soon hopefully 😎

We're about half way through the build. There's a few tricky bits but as long as you stick to the instructions you'll be reet.

Cheers 🥂

Cheers pal, we've started scenery now and attempted an expanding foam mountain 😱 kids are lovin it, will get a video out soon. Good luck with your build 😎

1.6 is more than enough for 3. We were 2 adults and 2 kids, then along came another child, and it got a little cramped, but worked until he was about 3. Wind, no problem. We have been in a fair few storms, the worst one being in the mountains in northern Sweden, very very windy to the point where we thought we would have to pack up but the tent held up very well. As long as you strap it down there will be no issues. Super impressed.

Ok. Thanks! In wind do you close the windows? My concern is not if it will withstand but how much flapping and noise it does. What about the plywood base? Plywood should be the bes isolation solution, but how does it feels? Noise? Bending? The diesel heater, do you put into the annex room and leave the door open to warm up the tent? Thanks a lot!

@@scalextric-hobbynice and what about to setup the awning with the annex walls installed? How do you do that?

Obviously there is a bit of noise when it's super windy but you get used to it, my wife wore ear plugs. Setup is and pack down is pretty easy after a few times, 7mins up and about 10mins down. Annex is easy to setup too, and packing it down is easy, we just folded the walls up and put them on the tent just before the final transport cover. All our sleeping bags and bedding stayed in the tent. Diesel heater we brought in through the annex, it warmed everything up good. Kept the windows open during wind, it wasn't a problem. Awning tensioner just went through the annex with no problem.

Plywood base was ok, but we added a condensation mat between the plywood and main mattress, no condensation at all under the mattress

Arc pro is fantastic. Having the ability to switch from digital to analog is brilliant, I'm mainly running analog because of the cars I've got, but we do switch over digital for some awesome racing experience quite often.

Cheers, not really been that active, life gets in the way. We now have a dedicated room so hopefully more vids to come.

Life gets in the way 🤣 3kids and a job leaves little time for making videos 😞 Although now we have built a new room dedicated to hobby / Scalextric so hopefully more videos to come. I need to learn how to edit too 😁. Check out the new vid with the room 👊

No worries. Hopefully we get more videos posted soon. Life gets in the way. Check out our new vid.

Same problem here, can't seems to find any solution 😢

Sorry for the very late response. How's your track looking? I've had this issue before and it was a combination of track and car, start with the car, make sure the wires from the motor are making good connection to the braid plates, also install new braids. On to the track, start by cleaning the rails, i first vacuum off the whole track then use a small amount of autosol (metal polish) to clean the rails and after that I go over it with electronic cleaning spray and then finally a microfibre towel. Over time the rails get full of dirt, continuity is reduced causing connection issues and jumpy cars. If you're using the track a lot then regular cleaning is a must.

Should work no problem, just godda practice a little bit 😎

Yes.

Scalextric by far, we have no video games in the house, they have iPads which are limited to learning games but most fun is Hobbycraft and scalextric

I'm running ArcPro using 2 power inputs, I have a 19m track. It also works well with 1 power input.

@@scalextric-hobby thanks deciding on this or the older C7042 system

@@UmbroSubbuteoFan You'll notice an improvement with a second power supply, even on just 2 cars. If you're running 4 or more cars, you really need that 2nd power unit. Track length issues can be sorted with jumper cables.

Yeah, I think if it was 1mm smaller in diameter it would of been a little easier. After more testing round the track after the video upload, it broke 😖 too brittle the material. The concept works tho. I'll see if I can find some printed with a stronger material. I get blasted with import and VAT charges when buying from UK so that line is closed for me ☹️

Can you post the link to the 3d print drawing?

Thanks for the information, It's appreciated 🤘

I need 1sport power base

Super childhood memories flooding back with Scalextric, it was an awesome part of my childhood. Definitely find myself reliving my childhood after getting back into it with my kids.

Indeed. I did HO as a kid. Found my old HO tackle box of cars. Setting up the Scalextrics brought all that back. My sons Fiancé heard the commotion and asked what was going on? I said, this is what we did before computers. lol. Yep, researching what to do next.

@@shiftintohigh5564 my plan to keep the kids in and keep them off the IPads is to let them build a scale world around the track as they love painting and making things. Another few weeks and I'll split the garage in 2 and build a scalextric / hobby room for them. The possibilities are endless.
